The Other Side

September 28, 1986

Editor: We were dismayed to see the cover of your Aug. 10 magazine glamorizing the fur industry. The associated article was equally distressing for its lauding of furriers and wearers of animal skins. We expect a much greater level of enlightenment from our Orlando Sentinel.

Do you realize the agony, species predation and blatant disregard for life that is embodied in each fur garment? Do you feel that the adornment of one human being justifies the suffering of as many as 40 animals? We ask that you re-examine your story and your ethics and decide whether you really believe your position is morally defensible.
